about

The song that started this whole project!

Last year, while discussing time zones and The Wiggles with my kids, they realized that when we are eating breakfast, the kangaroos in Australia are sleeping. Learning new things is fun!!

The Kangaroos Are Sleeping is a reminder for myself that the world is a pretty big place when seen through the eyes of our children. As parents, we'll be there to help them and guide them.

This song is also my thank you and tip of the cap to Anthony Field, the Blue Wiggle.

The Kangaroos Are Sleeping also appears on my Twilight Songs album.

lyrics

Well the world is a very large place
Sometimes you need somewhere to hide
Like a super-secret hideout
A place where no one can find

And if the world fell down
And I fell down right along with it
Well I might get scared
But I’ll just roll right along with it

Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead

Well I do don’t like potatoes
Sometimes I do don’t like broccoli
I’ll call you Goldilocks you call me porridge
We’ll be best buddies just you wait and see

Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead

Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it
I found mine when I went down to Wiggletown
I also like blue and my hair is grey
G’Day
Feeling happy today

Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead
My sleepyhead my sleepyhead
